refúgó

Refúgó, also known as refugee, is a term used to describe a person who has been forced to flee their country due to persecution, war, violence, or natural disasters. These individuals seek refuge in other countries, often in the hope of finding safety and protection. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the leading agency responsible for protecting refugees and assisting their resettlement.

Refugees are protected by international law, including the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. These documents outline the rights and protections that refugees are entitled to, such as the right to seek asylum, the right to work, and the right to education. However, refugees often face significant challenges, including limited access to employment, housing, and healthcare, as well as discrimination and stigma.

The global refugee crisis has been a pressing issue in recent years, with millions of people forced to flee their homes. Factors contributing to this crisis include conflict, climate change, and economic instability. Efforts to address the refugee crisis involve both international cooperation and local initiatives aimed at providing support and integration for refugees.
